Stranger To Myself

I don't know what I'm doing
I'm at war with myself and I'm losing
Trapped inside my own head
I should've listened to my heart instead
I miss when I didn't care what others thought
I didn't know growing up meant getting lost
I'm surrounded by bodies
Yet it's like no one truly knows me
I don't even know myself that well
I feel like a stranger to myself
It's toxic trying to reach perfection
And ignore what I see in my reflection
Just want to be someone else
The only one I can't impress is myself
The walls are closing in on me
I can't breathe
The world inside my phone screen
Yet I feel so lonely
But in a world where sex sells
I feel like a stranger to myself
In all our despair
Life isn't fair
But it would be nice to know that someone's there
I just wish I was more prepared
To grow up in society's glare
All my flaws, I'm well aware
Am I really me
Or is this just who I was taught to be
Maybe we put ourselves in this situation
Maybe being human is more of a disease than a condition
Self-hatred passed down through generations
And raised by society's suffocation
I just wanna tell the girl with tears on her cheeks and the boy on the football team
The singer whose song turned into a scream, the athlete who's trying so hard to be seen
The boy who always disagrees, the valedictorian whose life isn't what it seems
The dancer whose measurements don't match the rest of the team's, the gay kid who wears their heart on their sleeve
The girl lost in her daydreams and the boy who's throwing up in the bathroom as I speak
That in order to be yourself you can't try to be someone else
That you don't need to fit the mold society's trying to force you in
Maybe if we had looked out for each other our minds wouldn't be in danger
Maybe then I wouldn't feel like a stranger

Blue Valentine

I never understood romance
Never gave it a chance
Then you changed my stance
But love had us in its rose-colored trance
And although we tried
Our hands were tied
Now I accept the love I don't want
While you're with her in my favorite restaurant
On this blue Valentine
Buy myself some roses
Watch as the door closes
I guess a broken heart is my diagnosis
The stars didn't align
When we fell from cloud nine
Now I'm with someone who's drank too much wine
Even though I don't want you you're mine
Blue Valentine
While I'm left feeling lovesick
Your lips are stained with her lipstick
So I run into someone else's arms
Someone with little charm
But I sent him away too
Cause he wasn't you
Now I'm dancing by myself
Wishing I had the love I once felt
On this blue Valentine
Buy myself some roses
Watch as the door closes
I guess a broken heart is my diagnosis
The stars didn't align
When we fell from cloud nine
Now I'm with someone who's drank too much wine
Even though I don't want you you're mine
Blue Valentine
It's always my mistakes
It's always my heart that breaks
Falling for you
Was the stupidest thing I could do
I guess I never learn do I
But I know I can't tell you goodbye
You're mine, blue Valentine
Buy myself some roses
Watch as the door closes
I guess a broken heart is my diagnosis
The stars didn't align
When we fell from cloud nine
Now I'm by myself and I've drank too much wine
Even though I don't want you you're mine
Blue Valentine

Liar Liar

Baby, why'd you have to lie like that
Baby, why'd you make me cry like that
You've trapped me in your web
You led me step by step
Maybe it's time we call it quits
Maybe this is as good as it gets
You told me I was the only girl you loved
But even that wasn't enough
Your words pried apart my brain
You caused me so much pain
Now let's see you get the same
Liar liar
Words on fire
It's such a shame that you're an ugly crier
Liar liar
World on fire
Too bad you couldn't control your desire
Baby, I don't care
Baby, we were never a perfect pair
You think you're playing fair
That's cute, welcome to the nightmare
Don't like the attention you're getting
Aw, this is so upsetting
Just kidding, it feels quite fitting
Liar liar
Words on fire
It's such a shame that you're an ugly crier
Liar liar
World on fire
Too bad you couldn't control your desire
I love you
Just wanted to make sure you knew
You said those words like they carried no weight
But let me set the record straight
You're not the only one who can lie
Liar liar
Words on fire
It's such a shame that you're an ugly crier
Liar liar
World on fire
Too bad you couldn't control your desire

Peyton Marie Iowa
Hello loves! My name's Peyton and I'm an 18 year-old singer/songwriter from Iowa! I've been playing and creating music for majority of my life. I fronted a band for over 5 years and played around my hometown before recently leaving to focus on my own music. I wrote the songs on my debut EP in my bedroom when I was 16 and taught my bandmates how to play them for our gigs. And now it's finally out! ... more
